I saw the dog and the cat
Both sitting gently on the mat
Hearing the cat miaowing
I know its happening
...

I like the palm wine
Because it makes me wine
With just a little of it
All my sorrows I forget it
...

Will you ever be my lover?
I'm just a simple straight boy
I play nothing undercover
Promise all thing except nothing
...

Oh with drops of tears rolling down my eyes
When someone sow and reaping is not allowed
My cry sounding up to the sky
On my knees with respect, I bow
...

Some are proud to be older than me
When I’m not proud to be someone’s elder
Everyday young is what I plead God to be
Cos I don’t want to be a history in years later
...

Seeing me in your eyes
I reach the highest of all
Myself will be in the sky
Flying with the angels
...

Waking up in the morning
I see the bright new day
Yesterday plans on my mind
Cos I need not let myself astray
...

Still in my world
My world of segregation
Thinking aloud
Without my knowledge
...
